Washingtuti. Nov." 9. -Plan of the

about an overthrow "of the American
government through a general strike,
ia revealed in documents seized in the,
nation-wide raids of Federal authori
ties Friday and Hutorday nights nd
inude puhlie tonight by Assistant Attorney-General
Garvan.
With tho government overthrown and
everything "wiped from, the earth it a
' reminder of the right to private owner
ship of property" the Kussiaa workers,
according to their . manifesto, looked
forward to "the magnificent beautiful
form of mn without a Uod, without a
master, end free of authority."
The documents and publications con
tained in the raids, officials sail today,
are of the most inflammatory nature
aad make no effort to conceal the
union's program of destruction and
death to achieve its ends. Much f ths
material made puhlie tonight is of such
a nature as to cause any newspaper re
printing it ordinarily to be barred
from the mails.
Manifesto of Anarchists,
i Included among tha documents seised,
all of which are printed ia Russian, is
"Kovomirsky-"' Manifesto of Anarch
ists Communists." This publication,
the most recent pat out by the union
was said by Mr. Garvon to be the most
dangerous piece of propaganda ever dis
seminated by any radical organisation
la the United States.
The manifesto outline tho purpose
ef the movement fnangurated by the
union as ' complete destruction of pri'
vato control of natural resources sad
capital and complete destruction of
power of rule and the institution in
vested with powers to enforce rule ef
one man ovet another.

"What must we do, the Vanguard of
the proletariat f ''We must conspicu
ously hasten the elementary movement
of the etruggle ef the working elass;
' we must convert (mall strikes into
general ones, and convert tho latter into
nrmcd revolt of the laboring masses
against capital and state.
Would Destroy Authority,
"At the time of this revolt, we must
at the first favorable opportunity pro
ceed to an immediate seizure ef all
mean of production and nil article
of consumption and make the working
classes the masters in fart of all general
wealth. At the same time, we unit
mercilessly destroy all remain of gov
ernmental authority and class domina
tion, liberating the prisoner!), demolish
prisons and police office, destroy all
legal paper pertaining to private own
ership of property; all Said fence and
boundaries, and burn all certificates of
indebtedness ia a word, we must take
rare that everything is wiped from ths
earth that is a reminder of the right
to private ownership of property; to
blow up barracks, gendarme and police
administration and to shoot the most
prominent military aad police officers,
must be the important concern of the
revolting" working people. Ia the work
of destruction we must be merciless, for
the slightest weakness upon our part
may afterward cost the working clauses
a whole sen of needles blood." '
' Opposed to Religion.
After 'Capital and State" are ' de
stroyed, .the manifesto Bay the first
duty of the union is to start produc
tion on new foundation. . Existing
labor organisations should Be extended
and production should be given " over
entirely to them, it argues. Then, each
"village commune'' should unify with

It continues: ' -.-.

of counsel for the miners yesterday that
Mr. Lewis, and Secretary-Treasurer
William Green purposed to obey the
court's ' order but they could not speak
for other officials. While Mr. Lewis

the sharpest content on the reservation

leaders were reported prepared to pro

as follows:
The Netherlands which for centuries
I has accorded political refuge to all, con
siders tho former t-mperur and Crown
Prince as refugees not as royalty but
aa persons entitled to the same rights aa
rny plain Johann Schmidt who lied to
Helrand during the war. This principle
ia so stronnly held by the government
and also by the press of Holland that
nothing is likely to change it, it is as
serted. 4
Not Considered Criminal.
The Dutch government has reached a
determination ns to its conduct in th
event the surender of William Hohen-
sollern is asked for. No ofticial state
ment ha been made in this connection
bui The Associated Press learn that
Holland considered the former Emperor
beyond extradition as there ia no pos

privilege, both the Hohenzollerns would
be free to go where they liked, a they
are in no sense prisoners. However, be
